T/Lt.Col. John G.B. Allardyce

British Army 106th Battery Royal Field Artillery

My great grand father, Kala Khan, and his two nephews Hadatulla Khan and Khan Ali Khan worked for the British Army. They were tailors for the British Army (Royal Artillery) Kala Khan (Tailor Master) did job in British Army for about 21 years. They performed his services in unit of 10 Battery R.A (1891 - 1898), 12 Battery R.F.A (1898 _ 1902) and 78 Battery R.F.A (1903 _ 1913)

I have 2 documents Britsh army certificate handwriting & autograf of Sir John.G.B. Allardyce . One another document in my opinion is very important, he gifted wherein name of clothes were mentioned which he dressed himself The British Officer named in the certificate was Sir John. G.B. Allardyce.

On the 2nd of Nov 1914 he was promoted to Major and on the 22nd of June 1915 he is serving with Royal Field Artillery, 106th Battery. Major J.G.B Allardyce was made temporary Lt-Col on April 26th 1916.

I have personal dairy ok Mr Kala Khan in which he prescribed his time spend with Sir John.G.B. Allardyce. I want to present all these things (documents, name of clothes document) to any of Sir John G.B. Allardyce family members.









Additional Information:

My grandfather Harold James Page took over as Captain of the 106th Battery of the RFA I think when John Allardyce was promoted to the rank of Lt Colonel. I would be fascinated to know if any of the diary you have describes the time in action in 1916?
